The Faith and Science Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

The readings for this week for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost are Hosea 11:1-11 and Psalm 107:1-9, 43, or Ecclesiastes 1:2, 12-14; 2:18-23 and Psalm 49:1-12, with Colossians 3:1-11, and Luke 12:13-21.  This week we look at Co-Migration.  This has been observed in multiple species and is being noticed that it is happening more due to the fact of how our climate is changing.  This leads us into a discussion of making sure that we are working together and not becoming focused only on "me".  If we can focus on working together, the chances for us all growing are much higher.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:

How are you going to give from your abundance instead of hoard? #FaithandSciPod

The readings for this week for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost are Hosea 1:2-10 and Psalm 85, or Genesis 18:20-32 and Psalm 138, with Colossians 2:6-15, (16-19), and Luke 11:1-13.  This week we look at bird calls.  Just like people, there are many different ways in which birds communicate.  To do this, birds have to learn many different calls and songs to be able to connect with birds of the same species and other species as well.  This is all used so that they can communicate well with other birds.  When we are trying to connect with God, are we learning all the different calls that God is wanting us to?  Are we learning to communicate with God and others effectively?  Are we learning the vocabulary and the practice of different ways of communicating with God?  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

The readings for this week for the Seventh Sunday of Easter are Acts 16:16-34, Psalm 97, Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21, and John 17:20-26.  This week we look at Bias.  When we are thinking about using and designing AI, this is a topic of discussion and something that has to be considered.  This is something that we as humans can struggle with and be blind to.  Yet, in our faith we are called to be aware of it and try to figure out ways around it and draw closer to God with everyone, not just the ones that we would like there.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:

Where have biases clouded your sight? #FaithandSciPod

The readings this week are Exodus 20:1-4, 7-9, 12-20 and Psalm 19, or Isaiah 5:1-7 and Psalm 80:7-15, with Philippians 3:4b-14, and Matthew 21:33-46.  This week we look that we have to be okay with being able to change.  This allows us to better understand God by seeing where God is taking us in the bigger picture and aligning ourselves to that.  We were not able to see beyond where we were at with DDT, but it also helps us see that this is something we struggle with and hopefully we can continue to learn from and grow as people going forward.  In doing that, maybe we also get better at it as well.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Dear Listeners,

We have made it 300 straight weeks of talking about Faith and Science!  I first want to thank everyone who has tagged along on this crazy journey.  I hope you enjoy this episode as we get into some of the backstory of the last year and hear about where we are looking at going with next.  Hope you enjoy it as we continue talking about Faith and Science each week.

Thank you so much,

Tyler Bublitz

The readings this week are Exodus 17:1-7 and Psalm 78:1-4, 12-16, or   Ezekiel 18:1-4, 25-32 and Psalm 25:1-9, with Philippians 2:1-13, and Matthew 21:23-32.  This week we look to go deep into space and see if we can try understanding how we currently try figuring out how old our universe is.  We also find that right now there is much debate about how to do that and it might mean.  It appears that creative hypotheses and a willingness to try new ways of looking at things are needing to allow us to learn more about the universe.  This sounds very similar to faith in how we need to continue to allow our faith to grow and change as we get older along with allowing our understanding to grow as well.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Where do you need to put aside your preconceptions to allow God in?  #FaithandSciPod

The readings this week are Exodus 16:2-15 and Psalm 105:1-6, 37-45, or Jonah 3:10-4:11 and Psalm 145:1-8, with Philippians 1:21-30, and Matthew 20:1-16.  This week we look at when beavers flew that were both creative and using the resources they had to solve a problem. This also helps remind us that God works in creative ways if we allow God to do so.  It is important for us to allow God to do God's work, which will often have creative results.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

The readings this week are Exodus 14:19-31 and Psalm 114 or Exodus 15:1b-11, 20-21, or Genesis 50:15-21 and Psalm 103:(1-7), 8-13, Romans 14:1-12, and Matthew 18:21-35.  This week we look at how we as humans can get laser focused and miss the objective that we are striving for. In doing that, we become arrogant and ignorant of the things around us and end up hurting us in the end.  This often means we need to be humble and forgive ourselves and others, in order to keep to the goals we see we need to accomplish. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
